Prompt / Lyrics
“Different Drum” by Robert Ramage Intro (Driving guitar riff — steady kick drum like a heartbeat building speed) I don’t wait for the green light I don’t sleep in neutral Verse 1 I wake up with the engine running Foot already on the floor Some folks stand around discussing I’m already out the door They say “That’s not in my title” They say “That’s not in my lane” But I can’t sit still in silence While the clock just drains Pre-Chorus You can call it ambition You can call it unrest But standing still feels like suffocating in my chest Chorus We’re marching to a different drum Some move slow, I gotta run I hear the rhythm building strong If we don’t move, we fall behind I’m not mad — I just burn Watching wheels that never turn If you can’t feel the rising hum You’re not marching to my drum Verse 2 It’s not about the credit It’s not about the load It’s about the forward motion On this long and winding road Some people clock their minutes Some people chase the flame I don’t need applause I just need the game to change Pre-Chorus There’s a fire in my wiring There’s a pulse I can’t ignore If we’re building something bigger Why are we standing at the door? Chorus We’re marching to a different drum Some move slow, I gotta run I hear the rhythm building strong If we don’t move, we fall behind I’m not mad — I just burn Watching wheels that never turn If you can’t feel the rising hum You’re not marching to my drum Bridge (Breakdown — half-time drums, big vocal lift) I don’t need everybody To see it like I do But don’t mistake my motion For something to prove This is how I’m wired This is how I breathe Momentum is my oxygen Forward is my creed Final Chorus (Lifted / Arena style) We’re marching to a different drum Some move slow — I overcome I hear the rhythm in my blood Progress pounding like a flood I won’t wait for permission I won’t stall for condition If the world won’t speed up some I’ll outrun it to my drum Outro (Guitar riff fades with strong drum hits) Different drum… Different tempo… Still moving.
